Northern have begun a pilot where station ticket machines will issue paper-roll tickets rather than credit card sized card tickets. The new tickets will be in the same style as those issued onboard and from EMR's 'smart kiosk'. Plain white paper roll will be used rather than orange stock.
All machines will retain a CCST printer for tickets that can't be sold using PRT, such as cross-London tickets. Ticket on Departure will also still be printed on CCST stock.
The initial trial includes stations around Bolton and Burley Park to Harrogate but will be extended in the coming weeks to cover 60 stations (one machine per station will be part of the trial).
